Letterman: Akin says "Florida seldom suffers damage from a legitimate hurricane"

On the Letterman show he had a fake story where Akin said that the RNC wasn't concerned about Isaac because Florida seldom suffers damage from a legitimate hurricane.

Given how funny it is, it doesn't seem to be out there on the inter-tubes much.

No "legitimate hurricane" results on You-tube or Google, or I would have posted a picture or video. If anyone posts one here I'll add it to the OP.

You can see it in Politico's late night comedy round-up:
